Burnt Ends - Love 'em or hate 'em?

[Fire Me Boy!]

So... what say you, Planeteers? What is your take on the smoky, chewy little bits of barbecued manna from heaven?

[Hammock Parties]

I've actually never had one. I'm a BBQ n00b.

[dirk digler]

Pork is my favorite by far but I like burnt ends every once in a while

[Fire Me Boy!]

Oh, hell. Could a mod please add a "WTF is a burnt end?" option?

[Buck]

Is that when you knowingly have sex w/ a girl that has gonorrhea w/out any protection?

[Fire Me Boy!]

I've actually never had one. I'm a BBQ n00b.

You can tell by my thread header how I feel. I've gone to great lengths to make massive amounts of burnt ends. Absolutely love them. If burnt ends were the only BBQ I could have for the rest of my life, I'd be good with it.

I love them. There is one BBQ restaurant here in Bloomington, IN, and it sucks. I eat burnt ends almost every day when I'm back in KC for holidays.

Overrated IMO. Ill eat them though.

One of my favorites is a nice garden salad, shredded parmesean, burnt ends and poppy seed or creamy italian dressing.

OK WTF IS A BURNT END PLEASE

[Molitoth]

Smokehouse BBQ Burnt ends!

[Fire Me Boy!]

OK WTF IS A BURNT END PLEASE

Burnt ends are the pieces of the point (the fatty part of a whole brisket) that have become a little tough, and generally over-smoked. They are VERY powerfully flavored, and typically you either love them or hate them.

Smokers will trim the burnt ends off, chop them up, and cover them with sauce. Put the pile of smoky goodness on a bun and eat with delight.

Oftentimes, cooks will not offer them up for sale... kind of the cook's delight/treat.

[StcChief]

The best burnt ends are crispy, but not chewy. You know how in good crispy bacon, the fat is rendered, so that it's a crispy shell of cell walls with the interior liquid released [bacon grease] and it can be ground to dust between your thumb and finger. Burnt ends undergo the same process, except while it's releasing the liquid fat, the cell walls soak up smoke so it's crispy and intensely smoky.

I'd disagree with you. With the physics of cooking, the length of time that they smoke, they get dried, and should be almost jerky like. Some will be crispy, but most aren't. Yes, the fat renders out, but they don't cook hot enough to become crispy as a whole, at least not in my experience.

I've never had them like crispy bacon. And FWIW, About.com (http://bbq.about.com/od/briske1/a/aa081702a.htm) agrees (not to imply that About.com knows much about BBQ).

I did qualify with 'best,' and yes to the extent that the end is composed of meat and not fat you get the jerky/chewy component. But again, that's not the part I really like. That's why they use the fattiest part of the brisket.
And really, the meat doesn't soak up any more smoke, due to it's density, than regular smoked meat, so instead of smokier ends you just get chewier meat. The good stuff is where the fat renders out and it's a smoky shell. Another analogy, besides bacon, is the structural changes that happen to pork rinds, though no end would survive getting THAT crispy.

It's a flash setting, rather than raw jpegs, so I can't directly post, but compare pre-rendered ends [7] to rendered ends [8]. The crispy part is the blackened end.

Sorry, must have misunderstood! :thumb:

I like a primarily chewy consistency, with a little crispiness in there.

[Baby Lee]

That's why I likes Sneads so much, perhaps crispy is too strong a term, but they used such fatty brisket for their ends that that good lattice work of bits of meat held together by rendered fat that was initially crispy but melted in you mouth like the perfect 'crispy bacon,' that 'grind to dust' quality of rendered fat. And like I said, the fat has a much higher potential for smoke absorbtion than meat, no matter how jerkified.

If, as it is your thread, we're limited to whether we prefer chewy smoke meat or falling off the bone tender smoked meat, I'll take tender. ;)

Usually burnt ends are very fatty and greasy, and are the worst part of the rib. I'd much rather have a short end at Gates than their burnt ends.

It's kind of like a bbq sloppy joe.

You can do much better by ordering brisket, or chicken or something else, IMHO.

Some people swear this is their favorite though, so...whatever smokes your meat!

So they'll try it, and come out disappointed, and think that's what KC barbecue is.

And not only is KC barbecue much better than that, but FD's isn't even KC barbecue. It's a God Damn travesty.

Ah, yes, you are absolutely correct. Burnt ends are from the outer crust of a brisket, not from a rack of ribs. I knew that, but had a Massive Friday Brain Fart.I have only had them a couple of times, I didn't care for them much. And if you like them, definitely enjoy.

The flat isn't fatty enough. Has to be the point.

And it's not just cubed point. You basically shave off the burnt ends, then the point can be used as for other brisket, or, as I've done before, put back in the smoker for more burnt ends.

... it appears that is the way they are made.

I am open to other suggestions.
I'm just a stickler for terminology sometimes. Unless you were making a coded reference to sauce, "mix in some bbq" didn't make sense to me. Also, I guess you were probably using "grill" as synonymous with smoker.

Sorry! Yes and yes to both questions.

I was just being a curmudgeon.

It wouldn't be genuine, but I guess you could technically filet and cube a brisket, rub each piece and give it a whirl.

It pains me to type that.

No, you couldn't. The key to brisket is low and slow. If you cook it quickly, the meat will be tough as leather. You don't treat cheap cuts of meat like steak. Likewise, you wouldn't slow smoke a filet mignon or a strip steak. Don't try to grill brisket.

I was referring to smoking.

Fire Me Boy,

My question was this...

After you are done smoking the brisket, apparently the burnt ends require some further work in the kitchen followed by a return trip to the smoker for a couple of hours.

If you do the same to the flat of the brisket as you do to the point of the brisket do you get the same results as burnt ends? Or is that a waste of meat and time?

[Demonpenz]

anyone had smokin joe's burnt ends my friend says they are good. I think he is a rook

[rocks]

They are soooo good!!!! Sultan of Smoke has great burnt ends in Joplin. Some other places sometimes try to give you just a piece of burnt something and not the true brisket end.

Waste of meat and time. The flat will just become an over-cooked, mushy, dry mess. Overcooked flat is not good. The meat/fat composition of the flat is not the same as the point. The point has a lot more fat, which in the advanced cooking stages keep it moist and soak up more smoke.

Thank your FMB!


I have a brisket on the smoker now, and am going to try the Bacon Explosion this afternoon as well. We have a party thrown together at our house today for the game, and I am going to hopefully spoil all of our guests with your creations.

Thanks again, and enjoy the game! :toast:

[Spicy McHaggis]

Awesomeness in meat form. One of things I miss most about KC.

[RJ]

I'm about to fire up the smoker myself. I have a little 3 1/2 lb brisket with a nice fat layer that I seasoned last night. I've never done one this small on a smoker before, I originally intended to bake it. Seems like a waste to fire it up for just that, I need to think of something to cook with it.

Any suggestions? It would need to be something that would cook in about 3-4 hours.

[KCUnited]

I normally enjoy burnt ends, but its hit or miss. I hate burnt ends that are swimming in sauce and I hate grizzley burnt ends. I had a burnt end sandwich at OK Joe's yesterday and I really enjoyed them in a sandwich.

[Coogs]

Fire Me Boy!,

Saw you are on the Planet right now. Just wanted to let you know I made the burntends for the first time Sunday. They were a hit. And the brisket went over big as well. Topped it off with the Bacon Explosion.

You were three-for-three on the day! So thanks from my house to your house!

Coogs :toast: :toast: :toast:

[melbar]

Is this a trick Question? Especially for KC fans...BBQ is good food!

Burnt ends are the food of the absent gods.

[Buck]

I was hoping to try these when I came out there.

[boogblaster]

da best in da west ... hands down ..................

[Toadkiller]

I could live off burnt ends. Every time I do a brisket I make some.

[SCTrojan]

I love them, but don't always order them. I also love the crown prime ribs from Jack Stack.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Burnt Ends are God's way of saying He loves you.

[Reaper16]

Fuck God. Burnt ends are the creation of man.

[BigMeatballDave]

I was hoping to try these when I came out there.You will JIYP

[BigMeatballDave]

I dont understand how anyone could not like burnt ends, unless you just dont like smoked brisket.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Or you are teh ghey.

[tonyetony]

Loved them until I got the worst case of food poisoning in my life after eating some in Olathe a long time ago. Haven't even thought about ordering any since...I always order a brisket sandwich and a few hot links nowadays.

Haven't even thought about ordering any since...I always order a brisket sandwich and a few hot links nowadays.I see. That has nothing to do with the actual burnt ends though. I know what you mean. My grandmother made some kick-ass peanut brittle. One time I ate too much and got sick. I've hated it ever since. This was nearly 30 yrs ago.

[keg in kc]

My sick and never eat again food is barbecue potato chips. Had a big drunk once in college, ate an entire bag, puked them all up. Twenty years later I still can't stand the smell of them.

[Reaper16]

My sick-and-never-eat-again foods are mayonnaise and cottage cheese. I hate pretty much all globby white foods.

[keg in kc]

Cottage cheese is the food I constantly buy at the grocery and then let rot unopened in the fridge. I always think "I'll remember to eat it this time". And I never do. Do the same thing with yogurt, too. And salad.

I'm doing better with the salad now, but I've decided to stop buying cottage cheese and yogurt, because I just won't eat it.

WIN. Except no mayo on a Club is just not done. Sorry.:)

[BIG_DADDY]

What's not to like about burnt ends? Good eats.

[Reaper16]

I respect that. It is why I've never eaten a Club sandwich in my entire life.

[The Elder]

For burnt ends Bryants has the best on the planet.

For BBQ chips I recommend Guys, Best in the world

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

I respect that. It is why I've never eaten a Club sandwich in my entire life.

Wut???

Okay, I'm giving you a "mayo pass" on this. You MUST have a turkey-bacon club on toast with fries before you die.

Good Lord Man; it's an Americana-Diner staple!

That's not surprising considering you just came off formula.

Can I just eat some turkey and bacon on some good bread and eat some fries with it? I can't get behind the mayo.

That's not surprising considering you just came off formula.
LMAO I'll be 24 tomorrow. That's a fair number of years in which I've had chances to eat a club. A fair number.

No. You must go to a good and proper greasy spoon( like the old Sanderson's on Main was ), and order a turkey-bacon club sans mayo.

Do not fail me.

WOW, you are a big boy now. Happy B-day dude. Shouldn't you be planning your carnage?

Not so much on the carnage front. I've got a reading that evening. After that I'm just going to hang out with people, drink some saison and eat some brie.

Yea, the whole hookers and blow thing totally overrated. I can see you know how to truly blow out your 24th.

Seriously, hope you have great birthday dude. It is alright to call you dude now being it's your 24th right?
